1 + 1 = 5; And Other Unlikely Additions

1+1=5: and Other Unlikely Additions
The title of this book may have readers scratching their heads and wondering if the author missed all the classes in addition in school.  However, this book is full of fun equations that put imagination into mathematics.  Written by David LaRochelle, with digital illustrations by Brenda Sexton, this could be a nice supplemental book for children in primary math classes. It was just announced to be a finalist for the 2011 Minnesota Book Award.
